x+y = 60
\n" ); document.write( "20x + 25y=1375
\n" ); document.write( "25x +25y=1500
\n" ); document.write( "5x=125
\n" ); document.write( "x=25 car 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "25 + y=60
\n" ); document.write( "y=60-25
\n" ); document.write( "y=35 car 2
\n" ); document.write( "
